Lovely Women in the White House

The talk to-day has been of the bril-
liant reception last night in the White
house. 1t is conceded that never be-
fore has there been such display of
diamonds. Mrs. Senator Stanford fair
ly shone with precious stones, and it is
said her diamonds cost $500, 900. There
never was such display in the White
house except that made by Mrs. John
Jacob Astor. Mrs. Frank Leslie was
another lady whose diamonds attracted
attention. The stones she wore in her
ears were the famous diamonds about
which SO much has been written.
They looked the size Of birds eggs.
The entire front of her decOllete cor
sage was one blaze Of the precious
stones. There were other displays of
diamonds, but the two spoken of were
the most magnificent.
1t seemed as if some of the dressing.
or rather the want of it, was carried to
extremes. Talk about the Chicago
ministers protesting against the Amer
lean opera ballet. The display of
necks, arms and busts last night laid
way over any ballet show at any theater.
Some of the ladies seemed to try to see
how little they could wear and not
catch cold, 1t has been justly said that
like the diamond display, no such
decollete show has been seen in the
White house before. The dizzy cos
tunes of the girls in ''Eyangeline'' and
Lydia ThompsOn's troupe seemed to
fade into insignificance when compared
to the low-back dresses worn last night.

TESTING DAIRY COWS.
How . Successful Dairymen Increased the
Income from the Herd.

HOW o SUCCESSFUL Dbtrymon increased the
Income from the Herd.
Mr. H. B. Gurer began dairying with
twenty cows, and for years averaged
annually about $50 pounds of butter
from each. Then the idea was sug-
gested of testing the individuals of his
herd. On this hint he acted with re-
suit reported to the Dairymen's Asso-
citation of Illinois:
Il found the weight of milk ranged
from IS to 40 pounds. and the percent
age of cream from to 20 in the differ
ent cows. l afterward got an idea that
this test was not sufficiently accurate,
and tested all my cows Qorty in num-
Der at this time, by setting the milk
separate, and Swimming and churning
separate. In this test ! learned that l
had cows that would only pay for the
feed consumed, and that l had others
that would pay profit of $50 per year,
after paying for feed. l learned that
the COW that gave 40 pounds of milk
per day did not produce SO much butter
as the COW that gave IS pounds of milk.
l learned that the butter yield of my
cows ranged from 8 to 20 ounces per
day."
After this revelation he began to
weed out the inferior animals and fill
their places with hoifers from his best
cows, and thus in the course Of few
years he increased the average annual
butter yield from 1850 to 266 pounds per
head, and the profit above cost Of feed
from $15 to S45. He finds that winter
dairying pays best, and the dog power
for churning gave way to horse, and
finally a steam engine was brought
into service. the herd having increased
70 over sixty cows. ~ Z. TribNss,

-Oat, corn and barley meal are each

summer. When first turned out to
grass the herbage is watery and innu-
tritious, but it is better to let them pick
what they can than to wait until the
grass grows older, by which time
much of it will have become coarse,
and will not be readily eaten. Cows
thus fed will eat dry hay, or even straw,
readily at night, and should be given
what they will eat clean. But straw,
or even hay, is not all that is required.
Some grain or meal must be added, mob
alone to keep up the present flow and
richness of milk, but to prevent the cow
from growing poor, which will decrease
her yield all through the season.-In-

Lime, in some form, is indispensable

should be within reach of the fowls al
all times. Lime from an old ceiling OF
bricklayers' rubbish is suitable. Egg
she'll are also excellent, but should not
be given without first being finely
broken, or hens may thereby be taught
to eat their own eggs. Oyster shells,
so often recommended, are of little
value. Lime water is the most effect

eggs; few spoonfuls to pint of water

FEEDING YOUNG CALVES.
A Few Suggestions for the ConsideratI,
Of Dairymen.

Few Suggestions for the Consideration
Of Dairymen.
Perhaps 80 per cent. of the young
men that are in the employ of farmers,
and probably so per cent. Of the far=
mers themselves do not know how I'd
feed calves properly. l think l have
always instructed my men how to feed.
The practice is in this vicinity as l have
observed to give young calves weighing
100 to 120 TBS. about one half a wooden
pail full of skim milk morning and
evening. Seldom have I seen any hay
or grain In the calf pens. The practice
is positive loss to the farmer. He can
not afford to feed young calves in this
way unless he is rich and is trying as
an experiment something new to him.
Young calves weigh usually an average
of 80 pounds at birth. Probably
not more than 2 per cent. weigh
80 pounds at birth and probably one
quarter per cent. weigh 100 pounds
at birth. l allow young calves to
suck the cows for about theree days
usually, the milk is good enough for
use at this time. 1then put the calf as far
away from the COW as possible and
teach it to drink new milk. some-
times feed the fresh milk week, some
times so days. In one day or less the
calf is taught to drink. About Is
pounds of average new milk per day in
three feeds is enough to make the calf
grow IL to 2 pounds per day while
young. Before disseminating the fresh
milk the calf should be taught to eat
unground oats. Take some in two
bushel basket which is large enough so
that when he throws his head around
he will waste none. and put the oats in
its mouth. He will suck your hand
some after giving skim milk. Repeat
giving oats several times and you have
the calf soon taught to eat them alone.
Keep plenty of oats in box before
them all the time. About z quarts per
day in 3 feeds of skim-milk is
enough for calves weighing 80 to
100 pounds. If calves refuse to
drink or do not come up to the STAN
chions quick, the inference is that
| it has the sconrs. In such case give
an egg and cut down on the quantity
of skim-milk for two or three times.
More calves are spoiled on feeding
skim-milk than in any other way.
presume, then. too, if you overfeed you
fail to realize the real value of skim
milk. If the skim-milk is worth twenty
five cents per one hundred you proba-
bly, do not realize one-fifth that amount
when your calves are out Of condition
and have the scours.
1 am thoroughly convinced from
analyses of oil meal that you can not
afford, at present prices for young stock,
and twenty-five dollars per ton for the
meal, to feed it. If calf on skim-milk
and unground oats will gain fifty pounds
per month, you can not expect much
better by adding reasonable amount of
the oil meal to the ration.-J. N. Nun
cey, in Farmer and Breeder.

MAKING PLAY OF WORK.


Practical Way OF Teaching Children to
30 Neat and Orderly,
Did you ever hit on this way to get
cluttered sitting~room put to rights by
the very folks who have brought about
in 1t chaos itselfP The children think
it great fun to overturn chairs and
hang rugs on them for tent doors, to
strew the carpet with playthings and
snippings of paperi to drop books, pic
ture cards, building blocks and dolly
and her wardrobe, just where the new
est tack of their latest play left them;
but it is not always fun, either for you
or them, to get all this litter and clut-
ter picked up and cleared away.
OF late we have made little game
of such work by giving each child so
many breadths of the carpet, and all
that might be upon them, to put in per-
feet order. There are five breadths in
our sitting-room carpet, and at such a
"corner" in the disorderly state of the
room give two breadths-not consec-
utive lengths-to each of the two older
children, and the fifth breadth to the
little three-years-old, choosing for her
the strip of carpet that has the least
litter upon it. When little children
have keen interest in such work, it is
surprising how swiftly and deity they
will straighten rugs, fold papers, pick
up shreds and litter and pack away
playthings.
From end to end of their carpet
breadths our small people go-setting
back chairs, making neat piles of the
scattered books and papers that clutter
the tables and shelves, winding the
struggling threads in mammals spool
and yarn baskets if they chance to be
on their territory, winging the hearth,
and patting up, plump and smooth,
chair and lounge pillows, till even
mammals sharp eyes can not see an
other raveling to pick or one more pa
per to fold. She can quietly go on
with her sewing or mending all through
long afternoon while her room is al
ternately being put in and then put out
of order, only she must be wise enough
to plan that the former comes last on
the programme before their supper or
bedtime hour comes.
The children are so quick to notice
and herald each others oversights and
any slovenliness in this play-work of
clearing sections of the room, that
have little need to call their attention
to any article or scrap left out of place.
Even the baby will trot across the
room to provoking'y point to a wrink-
led rug or an overlooked toy on strip
of her little sisters territory. and
gravely say: "See there!" If chair
or table, with its tumbled heap oil
books or papers, stands on two carpet
breadths, the exacting little landhold-
ers require each other to put to rights
just such part as stands on their di-
vision of territory, and the chair, bas-
ket or stand, have seen the little tots
good-naturedly lug away together
